1, finger care

Three wonders of pinching fingers 1 min

1, which is good for brain health

There are many important acupoints on the hand, accompanied by six important health-preserving meridians, which communicate with the internal organs, tissues and organs of the whole body. There are about 99 important health-preserving acupoints on the hand, which shows that the health of fingers plays a vital role in maintaining the healthy operation of the human body.

Squeezing finger joints often can stimulate hand acupoints and help the body relieve fatigue.

Every organ of the human body, as small as a muscle, has its representative area in the nerve center of the cerebral cortex. Therefore, the active state of the brain is directly related to human health.

Finger motor center occupies the most extensive area in our cerebral cortex, which is about 10 times that of other motor areas. Therefore, it can stimulate the nerve center of the brain through finger activity, which can not only help the health of the brain effectively, but also be the simplest and most effective way to maintain aging.

If you find pain in different parts of your hand when kneading your fingers, you can judge that an organ of your body is abnormal, which may be a signal of disease. In view of this situation, we can massage the painful parts of our hands carefully, and promote local blood circulation through the stimulation of acupoints, so as to improve the condition.

2. Kidney health

Kidney health is the first step for people to keep fit. Therefore, how to nourish the kidney has become a key topic of concern.

There is an important kidney-tonifying acupoint on the hand, which can protect the kidney and preserve health as long as it is pinched frequently.

This point is located next to the nail at the tip of the index finger. You can massage this acupoint properly when you are free. It is very important to master the strength of your fingers lightly, and it is forbidden to have a reaction to the point.

Step 3 treat insomnia

Insomnia is a problem that almost everyone has encountered. I think many people can't stand the suffering of insomnia. Insomnia is not an important disease, but it has extremely adverse effects on people's health.

2. Health tips

1. Running for 5 minutes is equivalent to jogging for 45 minutes. A study by Curtin University in Australia found that sprinting for 5 minutes three times a week or cycling for 45 minutes a day can enhance metabolism and promote heart health. Compared with jogging and walking, high-intensity exercise can produce the same effect in a short time, and it is more conducive to persistence. Lu Yifan, a professor of sports medicine at Beijing Sport University, pointed out that exercise can be divided into aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, and running fast belongs to the latter, which can enhance explosive power and reaction speed, maintain endocrine balance and reduce the risk of falling. Now it is generally believed in academic circles that the elderly also need some anaerobic exercise. Old people run fast, so they should take protective measures to avoid wrestling and fatigue. You can also practice supine push-ups, pull-ups, push-ups and so on. Strengthen the strength of limbs and waist and back.

2. Meditation for 5 minutes is equivalent to sleeping 1 hour. Many people think meditation is "mysterious", but Fu Chunsheng, president of China Institute of Psychological Medicine, said that meditation is a westernized name, called Vipassana in China and Mindfulness in psychology, which is quite similar to traditional meditation and meditation. Meditation is to pay attention to your breath, return your mind to your body, and don't entertain foolish ideas, which is helpful to improve your concentration and health. A neuroscience study shows that mindfulness meditation can improve brain connectivity, enhance memory and eliminate fear and stress. Fu Chunsheng said that the most elementary meditation is simple and easy to learn, and the biggest feature is "don't want to": looking at a thing without any evaluation, such as gazing at a flower, observing a leaf and looking up at the night sky, can relax the brain and mood, relieve anxiety and fatigue, and return to a state of full spirit and clear thinking in just a few minutes, just like waking up naturally from a deep sleep.

3. Taking a nap 10 minutes is equivalent to sleeping for 2 hours. A study found that taking a nap 10 minutes every afternoon can drive away drowsiness, and the effect of relaxing nerves is comparable to that of deep sleep for 2 hours. If you take a 30-minute nap every day, the hormone secretion will be more balanced and the risk of coronary heart disease will be reduced by 30%. Shi Ming, deputy director of Shanghai Chinese Medicine Insomnia Medical Cooperation Center, pointed out that taking a nap can "recharge" yourself, which can improve the brain's reaction ability and improve the work efficiency in the afternoon. People who can't sleep well at night should take a nap at noon, which can improve the impact of lack of sleep. Shi Ming suggested taking a nap half an hour after lunch and not going to bed immediately after dinner. Don't take a lunch break for more than half an hour, or you will be more tired. Office workers should try not to lie prone on the table when taking a nap, and they can bring their own folding recliners.

Laughing for 20 minutes is comparable to jogging for half an hour. Studies have shown that laughing for 20 minutes is equivalent to jogging for half an hour. Researchers at Loma Linda University in the United States asked 14 subjects to watch war movies or comedies for 20 minutes or exercise for half an hour. The results show that the blood pressure, stress hormone level and cholesterol level of people who watch comedy decrease obviously, and their appetite increases greatly, which has the same effect as exercise. This shows that emotions will have an impact on the body, and the changes brought about by laughter and exercise are very similar. Fu Chunsheng said that from a physiological point of view, laughter is a process of muscle relaxation, which can improve your immunity; Mentally speaking, laughter is a pleasant emotional expression, which can release negative energy. For the elderly who don't do much physical exercise, laughing often is more important for health care. Fu Chunsheng suggested that everyone should laugh often and learn self-regulation from it. You can often watch humorous TV dramas, cross talks and sketches, or carefully observe interesting things around you. When something goes wrong, you might as well laugh at yourself with humor.

5.65438+ 0 cups of tea every day equals 7 cups of fresh orange juice. A study by Professor Nicholas Tangshan of the Paris Center for Preventive Medicine shows that compared with people who don't drink tea, the risk of death of people who love tea is reduced by 24%. An antioxidant experiment in Britain shows that a cup of 300ml tea has the same antioxidant effect as 1.5 bottles of red wine (about 750ml per bottle), 12 bottles of white wine, 4 apples, 5 onions or 7 cups of fresh orange juice. Jiang Yongwen, deputy director of the Tea Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that human aging is a slow "oxidation" process, so everyone needs anti-oxidation. Tea has a strong antioxidant capacity, and the habit of drinking tea every day can effectively solve the anti-aging problem. He emphasized that tea has six major benefits, namely, anti-cancer, anti-radiation, anti-oxidation, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fat and lowering blood sugar. Epidemiological studies in Japan show that compared with people who drink less than 3 cups of tea a day (30 ml per cup), the risk index of cardiovascular disease in men who drink 10 small cups of tea a day is reduced by 42%, while that in women is reduced by 18%. Jiang Yongwen said that green tea has the most tea polyphenols and the best antioxidant effect. However, tea polyphenols can cause irritation to the stomach. People with chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer had better drink less green tea, and black tea can be used instead. Tea contains a small amount of caffeine, which is not suitable for people with unstable sleep and bad heart. Don't drink tea before going to bed and on an empty stomach. It is recommended to drink tea after meals 1 hour. You can put 3~5 grams of green tea in the teacup, and soak each gram of tea in 50 ml of boiling water for 3~5 minutes, and then soak it for three or four times.

6. Walking the dog for 2 months is equal to 1 year fitness. A survey in Britain found that dog owners exercise more than gym members. The data of more than 5,000 people were collected, and it was found that dog owners would take their pets out for a walk for 48 minutes every day on average, and the walking time in a week could reach 5 hours and 38 minutes. They take their pets for long walks at least three times a week, which adds 2 hours and 33 minutes of exercise time. Counting, walking the dog for two months, the exercise effect is equivalent to fitness for one year. Fu Chunsheng said that people are lazy, exercise plans are easy to give up halfway, and dog owners have to meet the needs of their pets to go out, which invisibly increases their enthusiasm for exercise. According to statistics, if a pet dog is raised from childhood to old age, the owner can walk the dog for more than 23,000 miles (about 37,000 kilometers), which is equivalent to circling the earth once. Keeping a dog can also help people establish attachment with their dogs, realize emotional communication, make more friends and feel self-worth.

7. Wear casual clothes every day to help you walk 500 more steps. A study by the University of Wisconsin in the United States shows that wearing casual clothes to work can increase the activity by 8%, which is equivalent to walking 500 more steps every day and losing 0.8 kg for one year. Lu Yifan pointed out that the comfort of clothing often affects people's desire for sports. People are easy to stretch muscles and are more willing to participate in sports in the most comfortable state. Although wearing a suit and tie has tolerance, it will constrain the body invisibly, and clothes that fit too well are generally not "comfortable". Therefore, wearing clothes with loose patterns and comfortable fabrics can enhance the willingness to exercise.

Finally, remind everyone that health is a lifelong lesson, and we must remember that "haste makes waste". Although these "small" regimen can also play a "big" health care effect, it can't replace regular exercise, let alone be opportunistic, but let us make good use of every minute to accumulate health.
